In depth
Verdict
Money Trix gets the confident vote here with Cloudless Dawn and Serbelloni rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Sotovic and although having a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and he gets the confident vote. Cloudless Dawn rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Jonty's Lass especially as she should improve for this faster surface and she should be noted in the market Serbelloni is another worthy of respect on his fourth behind Stagecoach Diamond but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over further. Bywell Beau is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Money Trix who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
